A major upset!
In the first match of this year's competition, a chaotic battle on a rainforest map with 50 players, the Culinary Arts Department surprisingly emerged victorious.
Those few people from the Mecha Department who were usually ranked quite high were actually sent out of the map right from the start... After Cen Yu came out of the virtual cockpit, he saw everyone from the Gourmet Department looking at him with teary eyes.
The president led the shouting—
"Cen Yu, I will not allow anyone to disobey you from now on!"
The others followed suit and raised their hands... The members of their Gourmet Department came from various races, and Cen Yu saw a classmate with a fish head raise his fin.
"Thank you?" Cen Yu said somewhat uncertainly.
As he left, he saw the mecha students in the same competition venue.
The three of them were eliminated as soon as they entered the map, and their expressions weren't very good. When they saw Cen Yu come out of the cockpit, they couldn't help but turn their gaze to Cen Yu.
When she noticed one of the light-haired men staring at her with an unfriendly expression.
Cen Yu leaned against the side of the cockpit and reached out—
He made a thumbs-down gesture.
The man looked like he was about to explode, but Cen Yu reached up and wiped his neck again. "A defeated opponent," he said.
The two people next to them seemed to have noticed the commotion as well, and turned their gazes toward Cen Yu as well.
"Why can't they accept defeat?" the bespectacled guy in the gang complained. "They even dared to glare at Brother Cen."
"They're clearly just not as skilled!" the club president whispered. "Stop watching!"
Cen Yu didn't care what his defeated opponent was thinking, because he had won this round, so he could skip the next round and advance directly.
While Cen Yu was relaxed, the other students in the Food Department weren't good at solo combat. Fortunately, not everyone was so unlucky as to draw a map where only one person could win.
In short, when He Xueqing arrived at the venue for the school competition, she heard whispers around her, saying that the Department of Gastronomy was likely to wash away its previous shame and never be at the bottom again this year.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, He Xueqing entered from a location near the mecha department.
Of course, I also overheard the hushed discussions from the mecha department—
"Hey, stop glaring at him. It's not shameful to lose." A short-haired man patted the light-haired man on the shoulder. "If you're bad, just practice more."
"Who told you to underestimate us?"
“I didn’t underestimate my opponent.” The man with light hair spoke, looking at the person patting his shoulder. “Neither of us underestimated our opponent.”
They all knew that these people from the old Earth seemed to have their own special abilities. Although no one in the school knew what Cen Yu's special abilities were, they knew they couldn't let their guard down.
So at the start of the match, their plan was to take down Cen Yu first, but they didn't expect that they would be knocked out of the arena by Cen Yu before they could even find his position.
"Could his special ability be to hide his tracks?" the short-haired man guessed upon hearing this.
"I don't know," one of the trio said.
As they were discussing whether to ask Cen Yu if he would like to come to the mecha department, they noticed a man in a suit standing in front of them. "Excuse me, please move aside."
The short-haired girl was the first to come to her senses. Realizing they were blocking the way, she felt a little embarrassed and let He Xueqing go first.
The one with light-colored hair kept watching He Xueqing until he left, then the one with short hair asked him—
What are you looking at?
"He looks familiar," said the light-haired man. "I think I've seen him before."
He was wondering where he had seen this somewhat charlatan-like person before when he saw the other person walk straight up to Cen Yu, then lower his head slightly and say something intimately to Cen Yu.
He originally thought that Cen Yu had impatiently pushed him away.
After all, everyone knew that Cen Yu didn't really like physical contact with others, but they didn't expect Cen Yu to have no reaction. The people in the food department also seemed to know him, and the bespectacled man and the baby-faced man were both greeting him.
The light-haired man stared at that spot, and didn't move an inch even when the short-haired man called him back to the dormitory.
Perhaps because his gaze was too obvious, both the bespectacled man and the baby-faced man couldn't help but glare at him. The charlatan slowly turned his head, glanced at him, then smiled without saying a word, only revealing the ring on his hand when he raised it...
ring?
Qianfa looked closely at Cen Yu's hand and indeed found a ring that matched the man's.
"...Is he Cen Yu's boyfriend?" Qianfa couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, those nearby couldn't help but look in the direction of Cen Yu and that person.
"I guess so," the short-haired man said casually. "Look, they have matching rings."
“Disgusting,” the light-haired man said. “...They’re disgusting.”
"Are you out of your mind?" The short-haired man gave him a bewildered look. "What era are you from? You're such an old-fashioned person! I never thought you were so feudal!"
Just as he was about to continue speaking, he noticed that the person was actually walking towards Cen Yu, and he couldn't stop him... He could only pray desperately that the students in the Food Department wouldn't report him to the school, since it involved discrimination against ancient Earth immigrants and other issues.
...
Cen Yu was about to ask He Xueqing if she had come after a meeting when she saw her former defeated opponent walking towards them with a gloomy face.
He pushed the baby-faced man and the glasses next to him behind him, while He Xueqing stood beside him without leaving.
The man stopped only after walking up to Cen Yu.
Cen Yu looked at him and said, "Are you unwilling to admit defeat and want to have a match offline?"
